Search, Widgets & APIs...Oh My!

When you build your Library Website with LibGuides CMS, you automatically get two important website components: 1) the search functionality, which enables your patrons to find anything on your Website, and 2) the widgets/API functionality which enables you to embed parts of your Website (i.e. distribute your content) into other systems or webpages.

Search One...and Done!

LibGuides CMS comes with a custom search engine which indexes all the content on your Library Website. New content is indexed every day, too, so you can rest easy knowing that any changes to the website will be reflected in the search index. You can even embed your Library Website search box into other systems/websites via our widgets… so your patrons will be able to search – and find – full content of your Website, wherever and whenever, 24/7.
